Lumora tournaments
Take the case.
Build the answer.
Teams solve a real or simulated company challenge, turn their approach into a working prototype, and defend it in front of a jury.
Competition format
Four stages. One working solution.
Each stage answers a practical question: who is on your team, what does the company need, what can you build, and why should the jury believe in it?
Understand
Receive the case
Read the brief, identify the real user problem, and decide what your solution must achieve.
Build
Create the prototype
Design the interface, develop the core experience, test your assumptions, and prepare the demo.
Defend
Pitch to the jury
Demonstrate what works, explain your decisions, and answer questions from industry judges.
What teams produce
Show more than slides.
Your submission should demonstrate how the proposed product solves the case. The exact files and technical requirements are confirmed in each tournament brief.
01A working prototype
Enough functionality to demonstrate the core solution.
02A clear product story
The problem, target user, design decisions, and expected value.
03A confident live pitch
A focused demonstration followed by the jury’s questions.
Judging lens
What a strong team makes clear.
Did you understand the case?
Your proposal should respond to the actual need, not just add features.
Does the solution work?
The prototype should make the central idea visible and testable.
Can you defend your choices?
The jury needs to understand why your team selected this approach.
Can the team explain it clearly?
A focused pitch connects the problem, prototype, and expected impact.

Samarkand
Samarkand
A case built on the Capitalist platform: connecting founders with investors. The winning team designed a much shorter path.
Podium- 1RealCoders1st
- 2Galaxy Zip2nd
- 3Summok3rd
Winning team: RealCodersCapitalist · A platform connecting founders and investors+
The problem
Founders struggle to reach the right investor, while investors spend time searching LinkedIn, emails and networking events for promising startups.
The answer
RealCoders designed a much shorter path: you join, choose whether you are a founder or an investor, browse startup profiles in a Dealfeed and request an introduction.
Built in a day
They had the next steps mapped too: built-in chat, AI-based investor matching and an analytics dashboard.

A case from the investment world: pull scattered information into one workspace. The winning team showed a working MVP.
Podium- 1Flux1st
- 2Grid2nd
- 3Al Xorazmiy3rd
Winning team: FluxInvestorOS · One workspace for an investor+
The problem
In investing the important information is scattered across spreadsheets, emails, documents and notes.
The answer
Flux brought it into one workspace: the day starts with a morning brief, the nearest tasks and startup activity are in view, and from there you move into a pipeline of potential investments and a diligence section for evaluating them.
Built in a day
Not only screens: the team wrote both the frontend and the backend, connected a database and demonstrated a working version during the competition.

Eight hours on a live case and a defence in front of judges. The winning team took on the Codigo platform's case.
Podium- 1Synapse1st
- 2UTOPIA2nd
- 3IVY-Rocks3rd
Winning team: SynapseCodigo · A competitive programming platform backed by StartUp Garage+
The problem
The platform was still only a place to compete. The brief: figure out where it grows next.
The answer
Synapse proposed turning it into somewhere people learn to code, compete and then get hired, all in one place. At the centre is RoboAI Mentor 2.0: rather than only saying whether your code passed, it reads the submission, explains what went wrong and then serves you harder or easier problems based on how you are actually doing.
Built in a day
A product roadmap, a plan for how it makes money, a strategy for bringing in users, three-year financial projections, and a working prototype of the main flow: join a contest, submit a solution, see where you land on the leaderboard.
